Hmm. I don't know how you manage to come up with such novel storylines. There's something to the way you create circumstances that really bring out latent qualities in these characters. I'm really enjoying this, but I'm curious as to how this will develop. I love how detached Spike and Buffy feel; to a limited degree, the absence of familiar characters, other than S & B, gives the audience that same sense of something lacking. Thanks for the update. =)
